I'm thinking Reach will settle at 10.5-11 million, GT5 at 10-10.2 million. GT5 will be the 4th best selling in the franchise, while Reach will be the second best selling in it's franchise.

That sounds about right to me (give or take 1 million due to bundles)

Both will probably get further bundles (though GT's may be more extensive and have a larger impact). I can't imagine the final numbers being much more for either though (10.5mill tops for GT5/11.2mill tops for Reach).

GT5 isn't going to reach 10 million. It might get bundled again for the holidays, but the chances are still very slim it will reach 10 million. If it doesn't get bundled, it will never reach 10 million.

Really? What's the indicator that confirms it's chances are very slim? We already mentioned bundles, so that's not something new (in fact, most games that hit 10 million are bundled at some point or another - except for rare occassions such as CoD/Wii Fit).

Regardless, why are GT5's chances slim even with bundles? I'm curious.

Just look at the world wide numbers and how much is currently being sold in each region. It's continuing to drop each week until it's down to about 2000 or less a week worldwide. You guys are looking at GT4 and GT3 numbers and thinking GT5 can do the same, but at the  time GT3 and GT4 were selling decent numbers there were almost twice the number of PS2 in gamers homes. Once GT6 is released, GT5 will be an after thought. GT6 won't take 5 years to complete. They will just use GT5 engine and data and add to it.
